Opspacks let you monitor workloads on AWS, Microsoft Azure, Docker, OpenStack, Elasticsearch and MongoDB without the need for time consuming configuration or development. Many opspacks come pre-installed in Opsview Monitor but we're adding more all the time. Visit our Integrations page for the latest releases

We have built a completely new backend architecture leveraging new, highly performant technologies to dramatically improve speed, performance and scalability. Specifically, Opsview Monitor 6.0 provides the following benefits:

Increased results processing and throughput by utilizing parallel processes with processing now up to 10x faster than comparable 5.4 systems

Improved resilience and scalability, through the ability to run multiple processes in parallel and decoupling processes using a message queue

Improved recovery speed from network failures

Improved self-monitoring as Opsview Monitor 6.0 can monitor its own distributed components and provide data about load, performance and health metrics of Opsview Monitor itself

The Opsview Monitor 6.0 is a fully tested release that we are supporting for use in production environments however we strongly recommend that you read the release notes before you commence installation.

To use Opsview Monitor, you will need to purchase an Opsview Monitor subscription plan. A subscription plan consists of one of more licenses which enable features in Opsview Monitor for a specific amount of time.

Why will I need to use the Opsview Agent?

Opsview Monitor supports the use of monitoring agents to gather data from remote devices. The most common types of monitoring agents used with Opsview Monitor are SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) and NRPE (Nagios Remote Plugin Executor).Get more details on Opsview Agents

Within large organizations where there are large numbers of devices to monitor, or in a distributed datacenter that can span continents, countries or cities, a single Opsview Monitor server can get bogged down trying to process all the necessary device checks. As a result, it may fall behind leading to delayed checks and notifications.

Also, networks that make use of secured zones or firewall rules to segregate devices and services should not have that security compromised by having to open significant numbers of ports to enable monitoring. Adding Opsview Monitor Collectors to the monitoring hierarchy can help to spread the load and reduce latency, as well as reduce network administration issues by ensuring that all devices can be adequately monitored.
